don't fall down that hole in the ocean....

i'm in the middle of my road trip down the west coast!! had a chance to take this shot today, and was so happy with the result! after dreaming and dreaming of this location i was worried i wouldn't be able to get the shots i'd hoped, but in the end i was satisfied (and totally soaked!!! and my legs felt like rubber because i was so terrified of falling down the whole, and my many graduated filters were starting to get blurry with salt residue...)

c&c please, as i continue down the coast, i'd like to make sure i don't waste my limited time around big waves!

Nicely done! I'm jealous! I drove right by this while I was touring the West Coast from Seattle to LA a few years ago, and never even knew it was there! I would definitely have stopped!

What a fantastic image. This is by far your best posted effort to date.

Adjectives fail me! It deserves pride of place on a wall...printed large, of course.

This is beautiful, and very well done!

One tiny, TINY little thing: I think your horizon is just SLIGHTLY tilted. I could be wrong, but my eye keeps going to it, and sensing a slight drop off from left to right.

Straighten that, and this is really Photo of the Month material!

EDIT: Now that I look at it again, I don't know; maybe it's just the tilt of the rocks that makes me feel like the horizon is ever so slightly off-kilter. Or maybe it's just me; I AM having one of THOSE kinda days. :lol:

hey everyone, thank you so much for the kind comments! often time i find "how can you take a bad photo of such a great location" a terrible phrase, as the case with this shot i struggled through a couple hours to get a composition that was pleasing.. glad the time paid off.
